Project Title: Detection of Methane Emissions from Natural Gas Power Plants in the United States
Mentor: Joost de Gouw, CIRES, CU Chemistry
Bio: Khokolah is a first-generation student and a curious biological being looking forward to devoting her career to science studies. She immigrated to the United States in 2015, and is now working towards her Bachelor's degree from the University of Colorado Denver.
Khokolah came to the United States with vast goals and ambitions that are not attainable for women to achieve in Afghanistan, that started with learning English and include becoming a doctor as well as explorations into getting to know the world, its inhabitants, and herself!
After the completion of her Bachelor's in biology, she plans on using that to attend medical school. She hopes the RECCS research experience will help her gain valuable scientific knowledge and an understanding of the research process, which she will apply towards medical school and a future career in medicine. Khokolah is very excited to start the RECCS Program, not only to collect valuable experiences, but to make friends along the way!
